Work with LifeSpan to design a custom immunohistochemistry to address your specific biological question. Outsource the entire localization process without having to
worry about finding and characterizing target specific antibodies, sourcing and validating difficult-to-find tissues, and having the ability to interpret the resulting
immunostaining in relation to complex human pathologies.

TCR Screening Services

Test your therapeutic antibodies in immunohistochemistry against a broad panel of normal frozen human tissue types in order to determine potential unintended binding.
Our non-GLP TCR services are designed on the FDA recommendation outlined in their "Points to Consider in the Manufacture and Testing of Monoclonal Antibody Products for Human Use".

Specificity:

Recognizes mouse CD105, also known as Endoglin, a cell surface glycoprotein member of the TGF beta receptor complex. CD105 is a homodimer that forms a heteromeric complex with TGF beta receptors I and/or II. The complex binds TGF beta 1 and 3 efficiently, and TGF beta 2 less efficiently. It may also play a role in the binding of endothelial cells to integrins and cytoskeletal organisation. It is involved in cardiovascular development. CD105 is expressed on endothelial cells in all tissues except bone marrow and in also found in stromal cells within the connective tissue of the intestine, stomach and heart. It may be a useful marker for proliferating endothelium in tumors.

Description: CD105 is a homodimeric transmembrane protein which is a major glycoprotein of the vascular endothelium. This protein is a component of the transforming growth factor beta receptor complex and it binds to the beta1 and beta3 peptides with high affinity. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler-Rendu-Weber syndrome 1, an autosomal dominant multisystemic vascular dysplasia. This gene may also be involved in preeclampsia and several types of cancer.
